A New Level of Awkward

Today Lee said, "I didn't know that it could get more awkward to have your kid watch you take a shower. Then, today Everett pulled up a stool to watch me while I took a shower." Note to self: get a frosted glass door for the shower.

Fooling Santa

On the way home from church today I asked Madeleine what she wanted from Santa, here is how the conversation went...

Madeleine: I want another American Girl doll.

Kerry/Mom: Another one? Santa brought you one last year. I think Santa would like to bring you something different this year.

Madeleine: What if I cut my hair?

Kerry/Mom: What?

Madeleine: Then, Santa won't recognize me.

Kerry/Mom: What?

Madeleine: When I sit on Santa's lap.

Kerry/Mom: Won't Santa recognize Everett from last year?

Madeleine: We can cut Everett's hair too.

Kerry/Mom: (Laughing...)

Madeleine: And Everett won't be crying this year.

Kerry/Mom: Oh, okay...

Dads and Dudes

Today was dads and dudes day at Moss Haven elementary. The dude is if you don't have a dad, but you have a dude who is important in your life that can come to school with you. Lee met Madeleine for lunch and ate the same lunch that she did! It was Thanksgiving themed, complete with the stuffing! Here are some pictures (I was at the school helping cut shapes out of construction paper...)

in the lunch line, the lunch cost $2.90.

writing

I love it when Madeleine spontaneously writes on her own! For those who need a translation, this says, "Mom love Everett and Madeleine and Lee and Kerry (hearts) love 4235" Madeleine only asked for help with the word love, that's why the u has an o inside of it.

I was gone for a second...

Madeleine was playing with her make-up at the kitchen table and Everett was throwing his basketball. So, I went outside to get the mail for one minute, and when I came back Everett had make-up on too! I love how Madeleine puts eye shadow on above the eyebrow.

Sometimes, less is more...

Hats

First, Everett wanted to be a knight...

then he wanted to try on Madeleine's bike helmet,

for about one second. And then he wanted it off... NOW!

Oak Lawn UMC Trunk or Treat

We had such a blast at Oak Lawn UMC's Trunk or Treat. We love Oak Lawn UMC! Here is a picture from the wonderful photo area at the trunk or treat. I just received the photo so I scanned it, and posted it! Everett is Tony Romo and Madeleine is a ballerina!
